Background:

The Program for Gazprom’s Mineral Resource Base Development up to 2030 was worked out and approved by the Gazprom Management Committee in 2002. The Program defines the main directions of exploration work and the license policy of Gazprom.

While implementing the Program during 2002-2007, 20 new fields and 43 deposits of oil and gas were discovered. Over the last three years the Company has been steadily building up reserves due to a large scope of exploration work overbalancing the annual production level.

In 2007 exploration work assured an aggregate increase in hydrocarbon reserves (including Gazprom Neft) equal to 733.2 mln t of coal equivalent including 592.1 bcm of gas and 141 mln t of liquid hydrocarbons. The replenishment rate of reserves reached 1.08.
